Hi! I'm Hamilton — a Technomancer building Simple Scalable Systems. Welcome to my Digital Garden.
I build atomic systems and share my learnings on my blog and YouTube. I've been a Software Engineer since 2017 — currently at Vanta, previously Instagram / Rippling / MasterCard.
Now
- Learning High-Level Rust
- Enjoying a programming retreat at Recurse Center
- Exploring agentic engineering
For more details checkout my latest reflection.
Projects
I build atomic simple scalable systems for fun and profit. Lately I've been leaning into high-level Rust and agentic engineering.
- CloudSeed Rust — Fullstack Rust webapp boilerplate. I use this to start all my web projects - it saves me from re-scaffolding the same routing, data, and auth layers each time and I am confident it works vs relying on AI generations.
- CloudCompare — Simple cloud host comparisons. I was surprised at the price differences between providers for the same compute / bandwidth and wanted a way to show that easily.
Writing
I write about my builds and learnings.
